Love Pilates but want more of a challenge? Heartcore might just be for you.

The verdict: Reformer Pilates is still one of the best kinds of workouts I’ve ever tried and Dynamic Pilates at Heartcore is no exception.

Working out on a machine held by a series of springs, you squat, plank and pike, all while working against varying resistances (controlled by different springs) and using hand weights.

The result is a grueling workout that manages to exhaust all those tiny muscles in your body, think between the ribs, the tops of you thighs, even under your arms. Yes it will leave your body screaming the next day, but you'll instantly feel longer. After a few sessions you'll notice the difference everywhere from your bottom to your abs (yes, it actually gave me abs).
